Strains and Weaknesses,
Eggs Fifty Cents IL Dozen.

\ gentleman who keeps a few hens for
profit, recently carried some fresh laid eggs
to Fanenil Hall Market, Boston, anu received
for the same forty-three cents per dozen
The dealer said to him, next week will
pay you forty five cents, and before Christmas
fifty cents dozen for all YOU will bring me
ike these"
What is true of Boston is in a measure
true of every market for eggs. The next
eight weeks will be the season of highest
prices. Therefore work your hens for all
they can do. We have no doubt but that
for want of the proper ingredients in their
food, more than one half of the hens in this
country are now idle, when eggs will sell for
fifty cents per dozen. 1t is pure folly to
wonder, spend time and money or experiment
to find out why your hens do not lay. You
better by far profit by the experience of
others, and make them lay during December
and January. The following sworn state
ment shows that, the quickest and surest way
to do this and increase the egg product dur
ing these months from one to six hundred
per cent, is by the use of Sheridan's Powder
to make hens lay, once daily in the food
South Waldoboro, Maine,
II commenced Dee. 6. 1856. to feed sixty
hens the Sheridan's Powder according to
directions, and continued until January 3lst
The first week they laid only thirty eggs,
the second 81, the third 1873, the fourth 1876,
fifth 1852, sixth, 80, seventh $3.50. and the
eighth, 400 eggs" Or $50 dozen for the
eight weeks. Yours truly.

Winter killing of Fruit Trees.

There is wide difference in the hard
mess of different varieties of fruit trees.
Some varieties endure severe freezing
better than others. A variety that
lives one winter may die the next, be-
cause Of the changes surrounding it;
and so tender variety may live, when
one naturally more hardy dies. Sud-
den changes often work dsastrously.
This was seen in the winter of 1854
in belt Of country extending from
New York to Michigan. Ounce trees
and pear trees on ounce stocks were
greatly injured by rapid SUGGESTIONS Of
very warm and intensely cold weather.
The result was, that nearly all the trees
that were not sheltered were destroyed
or so weakened that they continued to
die till late in the summer.
The warmth had promoted sap circu.
lation, and the sap, suddenly freezing,
formed little crystals in the wood,
which 1acerated the hbers by every mo.
ton of the swayng trees. This cause
may be supplemented by such a freez-
ing and thawing Of the limb aud branch
as dries the life out Of them. In all
such cases the injury to tree: will be

Fortified Forests.

Stone forests are IN many parts of
the world \ number of stony trees
have been received at the Smithsonian
Institute from the West. In many
cases they are hardened by the peculiar
atmosphere as they stand, and in 9TH
ers they are buried, the part being re-
placed by mineral matter. The Little
Colorado river, in Arizona, has long
been a famous locality for such finds.
At one place more than fifteen hundred
cords Of trunks and sections Of logs
were found by government surveyors.
Most of them silicihcd. Many arc
seven feet or more in diameter, and
from twenty to seventy feet IN height.
The greater part Of them have probably
been covered in the mari that original
ly was one Thousand feet thick. Some
Of the the trees are changed to jasper,
assuming numerous hues, while others
resemble opal, and when broken open,
the core is often found lined with
Crystals of the most beautiful tints.--
Louisiana and Ohio are noted localities
for fossie trees. In the former state,
several years ago, in turning up the
ground an ancient forest layer was un
earthel and in succession two others
below it land scientists Judge, from the
trees, that from the time Of the first Law
er to the last, sixty thousand years
must haye elapsed. In the remains OF
the glacial drift in Ohio old forests are
often discovered. Some have been
buried beneath the water by the sink
ing Of the land. Some Of the OHIO tree.
are not entirely changed into stone, be.
ing yet soft, while others are found in
all stages from rock to porous sponge
matter.
